homemade muesli bars

When you have spare time over the weekend it’s always great to do a bit of baking to prepare yourself (and your meals) for the week ahead. This weekend we decided to bake a batch of homemade museli bars ready for some tasty and healthy snacking throughout the week. We found this recipe on “oh she glows” and it is delicious!Ingredients
3/4 cup gluten-free rolled oats, ground into a flour
1 cup water
3/4 cup packed pitted Medjool dates
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea saltMethod
1. Preheat oven to 180C and line a square pan with baking paper.
2. Add rolled oats into a high-speed blender. Blend on highest speed until a fine flour forms. Add oat flour into a large bowl.
3. Add water and pitted dates into blender. (You may need to soak the oats a little to soften them if the blender is struggling). Blend the dates and water until smooth.
4. Add all of the ingredients into the bowl with the oat flour and stir well until combined.
5. Scoop the mixture into the pan and spread it out with a spatula as evenly as possible. You can use lightly wet hands to smooth it down if necessary.
6. Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then lift it out and transfer onto cooling rack for another 5-10 minutes. Slice and enjoy!
